COntented

In one of the great cities of the West
which have sprung up into full life in
as many years as men take to totter
through babyhood, an old gray house
breaches the unusual lesson ofcoLtent
to all passers by.
The street on which it stands is fill
ed with solid rows of massive banks
and importing houses, the most val
liable property in the city. Niched in
between two towering, splendid build
ings are two acres OF ground. planted
in grass and an old-fashioned garden,
with a cowhouse and a plain little
dwelling, such as might be built for
few hundred dollars.
1t is the property OF poor man,
who lives on moderate salary earn
ed by his daily labor. A wears ago
he bought three acres of this ground
for six dollars, and afterwards sold
enough to build a home for himself
and his wife upon the rest of the lot.
He has been offered half a million
for it, and refused.
II have no children" was his
answer. "Ihave all | want,-a COM
Portable home, easy work, enough for
our daily needs. do not wish to be
rich"
Whatever we may think of his rea-
sons, or the wisdom or folly of his
course, there can be no doubt that no
has acquired something beyond all
Jewels in value-content. liam honest
man be the noblest work of God, q
contented man is assuredly the rarest.

The Business Of a Week.

II. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review
OF trade, say that with business progress
ing well throughout the country, crop pros
poets excellent, production larger than at
any previous period, and money in abund-
ant supply Wall street Is disturbed be-
cause u dream it has been chasing for
months suddenly fades away, and Mr..
Garrett announces the failure OF Mr.. Ives
to buy the Baltimore IL Ohio.
In wheat, Size for No. 2red winter in July
is lower than it has been before in that
month for more than forty years, and
closed the lowest price for that period in
any month This is the result OF IL spec
ulation which drew many million bushels
from farmers hands into the hands OF
dealers who are anxious to unload
before new wheat comes. The twenty
million bushels in q few elevators
are heavier than fifty million
bushels would be in farmers bins. Prices
generally are low in spite of many specula-
tions. The same quantities OF articles,
representing nine -tenths OF the aggregate
consumption of the country, which could
have been bought a year ago Tor 500,
would row cost only about SlOO.3O, but
the volume OF exchanges and the returns OF
railroad earnings show that the business Is
larger than year ago. The treasury has
taken in 81 900, 600 more than it has paid
out during the past weeks. but large dis
burscmehts are expected about Aug. l..
Exports improve, for three weeks having
exceeded last years by 6 per cent, against
the increase OF 15.6 per cent in imports.
The business failures during the last sew
Ell days number for the United States lat,
for Canada, 25 total, l72; compared with
179 last year, and 1873 for the correspond
ing week last year.

Object Lessons in Lying.

rom the Phlladeiphla Call.
A mother overheard her nurse-girl
talking to the little child she was put
ting to sleep, and among other legends
of the nursery in which she was indulg-
ed was this: eff you don't go right to
sleep this very minute, agreat, big, aw-
full, black bear, with eyes like Goals of
fire and sharp, white. cruel teeth, will
come out from under The bed and at
-y-o-u-all-up!" The poor little thing
nestled down under the clothes to
dream OF horrid bears eating her up.
That night, when the stolid nurse
had composed herself in her own COM
Portable bed and had put the lamp
out, there came sudden rap at the
door and the voice of the mistress
calling loudly through the panels:
"Maggie! Maggie! Get up as quick as
you can. There's a burglar under
your bed!" At the word burglar"
the girl sprang screaming from the
bed, tore open the door and fell into
Mysteries in the hall. The lesson was
more instructive than the mistress de-
signed, but when the girls fears had
calmed she said to her "You did not
hesitate to tell my little delicate child,
who could not possibly knowit was a
lie, q cruel story of a bear under her
bed; now, when | treat you to the
same kind OF story, you are nearly
frightened to death. Tomorrow you
can 60 into the kitchen and work
there; you are not fit to care for lit
tie children"

Important Interstate Decisions.

The Interstate commerce commission
delivered opinions recently in four cases.
The cases entitled Louis LarriZon against
the Grand Trunk Railroad Company and
The Michigan Central Railroad Company
against The Grand Trunk Railroad Com
pany, were heard together. The charge is
unjust discrimination. Iarrizon complains
that the road would not sell him thous-
and mile ticket at the price paid by
commercial travellers, and the Michigan
Central complains that the Grand Trunk
was selling to commercial travellers atlow-
er rates than to the public generally. The
defendant admits the facts as charged, but
AYERS that nothing alleged is in conflict
with the law. The opinion concludes as
follows:
Common carriers mayo ontinue the is
suance OF mileage passenger tickets, the
charges for which must be reasonable and
just free from unj just di scrimi-
nation or unreasonable preference.
Commercial travellers are not priv.
liged to ride over railroads at lower rates
than are paid by other persons. What
ever reasonable rates commercial travel
ers are made to pay other travellers may
be made to pay. To charge one more than
the other is unjust discrimination, and
this is true whether the tickets issued are
mileage tickets or in some other form.
The refusal of the defendant to sell the
complainant IL thousand.mile ticket for
$40, the price at which the company was
selling such tickets to commercial travel
ers, and the neglect to publish rates at
which defendant was Offering to sell mile
age tickets, were alike in conflict with
the 'act to regulate commerce" Opinion
by Commissioner Morrison, all concurring.

Bargains in Old Furniture.

From the Buffalo Express.
The man who told the following is
understood to be on intimate terms
with the truth:
You know how popular old furni-
ture has becomel An old sideboard,
an ancient chair or table commands
n better price than the prettiest OF
modern furniture. If the piece is iull
OF worm-holes so much the better;
they are a proof Of age and guaran~
tee OF genulneness.
Yes. Well, one OF my nc;silbo.c go
leading furniture dealer, who gets
hold of some OF the finest old Colonial
furniture you ever saw. He's making
a fortune out OF it.
On the morning OF the Fourth of
July, heard a tremendous banging
in his back yard. He has no children
and | thought it odd that so sedate a
man should amuse himself with gum
powder. So l pecked over the board
fence to see what was up.
Would you believe it, there in an
exposed place where sun and rain
could warp IL aud stain it, was dray
load of new unfinished furniture
From the way the grass had grown
up about it saw it had lain there @
month at least. And sitting on his
back doorstep was the dealer, firing
worm-holes into that furniture with
q shotgun! He thought, of course,
that in the Fourth of July hubbub no
one would pay any attention to him.
Go to his store in a month or two
and see il you can't get a bargain in
old furniture.

Englishmen and Cold Water
Baths.

From the London Gossip New York World.
This doctor also exploded the the
ory SO prevalent in England that cold
baths are conducive to vigor and
health. Nearly every man in England
talks about his cold bath. 1t is apIiHr.
emily one of the most entertal.
subjects that you can suggest for con
Eersation. The length Of the BATH
and whether it should be plunge OF
q shower or the like, afford an infinite
variety to this ever deli.htflll to- ic.
| understand there is even all associ;t.
tion in England so rabid on this sub.
lect that they make 1T q rule to take
a plunge into cold water out Of doors
every day of their lives and do not
even stop in midwinter except to first
break the ice.
This learned, and at the same time
one of the most successful physicians
in London, said that many OF the
worst diseases which he had to treat
could be traced back to the evil effects
of too much cold bathing. Said he:
"The theory OF the cold bath is wrong.
1t attacks the vitality of the body at
the very outset. IL draws Ill the
blood from the surface and concen-
trates it unnaturally upon theinterior
and produces for the time being a tre-
mendous tension. The whole effect OF
the shock is positive injury. The peo-
pie whose systems are strong enough
to react from the shock may
think they are benefited, but they have
been simply strong enough to recover.
No healthy person, much less sickly
one, should ever put cold water upon
his BODY"

Rest 4 Necessity.

How few people there are who know
what rest is in its best sense! Sunday,
the day of rest, comes and goes and is
but a part OF life's fitful fever, quickly
past. There may have been cessa-
tion from physical toll, but in thought
the man or woman has often taken 10
respite. Ii we can get away from
every day thought, even for one day
in the week, we would be better and
stronger to do the work of the rest of
the week, and yet in spite of profes-
sions of religion, inspite of Sunday ser
mons and prayers, the man too often
lives On this day of rest as on other
days. In too many parts ofthe coun-
try Sunday means an extra dinner
and extra toll to the housekeeper.
We have learned as nation to work
hard and energetically, but we have
not yet learned to rest and how to
save ourselves extra work. We must
60 to older nations to learn this.
There is something wonderfully at
tractive III some OF the descriptions OF
oriental cities in which civilization
seems to move along with perfect
quiet without any OF the claugor and
shouting heard continually in West
ern cities. There is nothing that so
deadens the better nature in man as
the continual noisy nervous STRIFE in
all kinds OF trade and business. No
time is left for anything but money
getting. Like an infectious disease it
seems to extend to all orders OF socie-
ty. We must turn back to simpler
ways. to more quiet, restful ways.
All work will be better if done by
steadier hands.

The Northern Pacific Finances.

New York Herald: There was an i'm
portant meeting OF the Northern Pacific
railr Dad directions in that city on the 25th.
The annual report WAS read and approv-
ed. 1t makes a most favorable showing.
Notwithstanding the increased fixed charg-
es on account OF the Cascade division and
branch lines the company has
kept within it's income and mado
a nice little surplus. yer
100000 Of the divided scrip has been
extended, under the offer of the company,
for twenty years. The new scrip will be in
denominations OF $500 and $1,000. and
will bear coupons payable twice year.
1t is believed that all holders will get their
scrip extended before in becomes due, Jan.
l next. The scrip sells at par readily at
present. 1t was authoriatively announced
at the meeting that the company's books
would close for the annual meeting in Sep
tember, on Aug. 6. Traffic agreements
were retained with the new branch line
which runs through the Walla Walla wheat
valley, leaving the main line at Pendleton,
Or, and striking it again at Ainsworth,
and also with the branch line being built
by the Rock Fork Coal company which
leaves the main line west OF Billings.

COnpensatiOns.
From the Indianapolis Journal.

Yes. it is rather warm, but we
must take the weather as it comes.
We should be thankful to have any,
and even hot weather is better than
none at all. 1t has it's compensating
features. There is no bothering with
overcoats, fur gloves. ear muffs, &c.
Fires do not have to de raked every
few minutes. Your horse does not
have to be rough-shod to keep him
from falling on the ice. Your own
head is not exposed to an avalanche
of snow from the roof as you walk the
streets. The gas and water pipes are
not frozen up. The young man who
hangs on your front gate at night is
in no danger OF being frost-bitten.
There ia no danger OF pumps freezing;
no necessity of covering cucumber
vines; fruit OF all kinds is perfectly
safe il the boys can't get at it; water
melons are beyond the danger point if
they are under lock and key; last win
ter's ice crop is safe beyond q doubt;
no immediate danger OF q blizzard;
good time to prune the thermometer
by cutting off the lower half. In fact,
hot weather has many, compensa-
tions, not the least of which is that it
teaches patience, Wait, and it will
be cooler, Christmas is coming.

David Hoffman, the Miss ouri Pacific train
wrecker was hanged at Nebraska City,
